I inspire credit union professionals to live their values to better serve members and communities.
My days are varied - some days are all about facilitating others' learning opportunities and helping young and old realize their full potential as credit union professionals. Other days are about building curriculum for training programs and inspiring others to pick up the mantle of change.
Here's the first step for high school students
The most important thing a high school student should do is capitalize on their school years. If you can take accelerated classes and then college courses it is worth it. Every credit you earn that you don't have to pay for is money in your (or your parents) pockets. I know high school should be fun but it is four short years versus the rest of your life. Never spend student loan funds on anything except tuition and books. You have to pay those loans back - get it?
"You don't have an education - that means you can't do it. You need to stay home in this little community you grew up in - the world is too big and dangerous."
